Some of those situations are treated along the film through Chris Gardener´s life and all the situations he lives.

In this film Chris Gardener, the main character, shows through his way of facing the life a way of behaving in the different situations the life gives you.

At the beginning of the film Gardner family has financial difficulties because they do not have any money and his wife is the only that works because Chris has lost his job; but at the beginning they are eager to overcome the situation together.

As it was mentioned in the movie a stockbroker must be “good with numbers and good with people”. This means that math skills and interpersonal skills are necessary for this career.

I think that interpersonal skills is a very important value for life because when people relate thy want you to treat them on a good way.

NECESSARY SKILLS FOR SOMEONE TOBECOME A SUCCESSFUL STOCKBROKER

What are some of the things Chris was forced to do to make ends meet while he

was finishing his stockbroker training?

Chris is prepared to let nothing get in the way of achieving hisambition. We all have dreams andambitions. I ndeed, it is good to. But in order to fulfi l them wewill havechoices, and sacrifices, to make. And sometimes the dreams we have are simply unrealistic.Chris tells his son to pursue his dream no matter what others say. But sometimes we need someoneto give us a reality check. How do we determine whether something requires giving it our alland when do we allow ourselves tohear the gentle word of realism?

We think that to archieve financial success doesnt ensure personal happinness. The personal happiness is archieve only if you have love in your life. If love does not appear is impossible to have personal Happiness.In Chris´s case, all the things that he is doing like finding a work, not sleep enough,etc, are to support his son.So is possibleTo be happy in that situation. But this doesn´t mean that is easy. If your family is close you don´t have any reasons to be unhappy. But if your family is broken is dificult, very dificult.You have to be worried about your son´s future because you haven´t got money and you are alone in the world. You can´tShare your problems with anyone.

To summarize we think that in Chris´s family is possible to be happy in spite of the financial problems if Chris and his son stay Together.
